Procyanidins are a type of (poly)phenols found in various food and have been reported to have functional properties including
anti-oxidive activity, obesity prevention and regulation of lipid metabolism. A rapid chromatographic method for the analysis of
apple-derived procyanidins has been developed. Additionally, the retention time of the apple derived procyanidin was confirmed
using the standards separated according to the polymerization degree, and the retention time of apple derived procyanidin was found
to correspond to that of procyanidin dimer B2. Furthermore, to confirm the quantitative and qualitative analysis of apple derived
procyanidins, the rapid analysis method was adapted to the analysis of fruits and functional food ingredients containing procyanidins.
